Emboldened by XR acquittals, vandals target Barclays

Finland handled XR well.

FOLLOWING the acquittal by a jury of nine Extinction Rebellion supporters who caused £500,000 damage to the HSBC headquarters in Canary Wharf, a linked group called Money Rebellion superglued the locks of 50 Barclays branches overnight. 

A press release from XR said: ‘At dead of night and armed only with tubes of superglue, activists held the number one funder of fossil fuels in Europe to account for its continued climate-wrecking criminal damage which endangers the future of all life on the planet.
